The roofs in Fennell Bay
Where gutters remain wet, distinguish retained debris from a blocked outlet or unsuitable fall.
For roof repairs in Fennell Bay, let us know about damp roof faces and any related concerns about gutter bottoms.
What we look at first in Fennell Bay
An obstruction beyond the downpipe may show up as water at the roof edge.
Gutter bottoms
Sediment can conceal corrosion beneath the visible surface.
Drainage beyond outlets
A blocked line may cause water to back up towards the roof.
Moss or lichen on damp roofing
Look at what is growing on the roof and the condition of the material beneath it. Moss on a shaded tile and corrosion through a metal sheet are different problems and should not receive the same treatment.
Council and approvals in Fennell Bay
Before finalising work involving drainage beyond outlets and damp roof faces, confirm the relevant mapping and proposed drainage changes for the property with Lake Macquarie City Council or the appropriate authority.

What we do in Fennell Bay
Pressure clean, re-bed and re-point the ridge capping, replace broken tiles, then a coating system. Typically buys another 10 to 15 years out of a sound tile roof.

Learn moreWhen the battens or sarking have gone, a coating will not save it. We strip the old roof and re-sheet, usually to Colorbond steel.
